PROP. XV.

_In any one and the same sort of Rays, emerging in any Angle out of any

refracting Surface into one and the same Medium, the Interval of the

following Fits of easy Reflexion and Transmission are either accurately

or very nearly, as the Rectangle of the Secant of the Angle of

Refraction, and of the Secant of another Angle, whose Sine is the first

of 106 arithmetical mean Proportionals, between the Sines of Incidence

and Refraction, counted from the Sine of Refraction._

This is manifest by the 7th and 19th Observations.
